WHY AMERICANS SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO TRAVEL!
The following are actual stories provided by travel agents:
I had someone ask for an aisle seat so that their hair wouldn't get
messed up by being near the window.
I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to
explain the length of the flight and the passport information then she
interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape
Town is in Massachusetts." Without trying to make her look like the
stupid one, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Cape
Town is in Africa." Her response ... click.
A man called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was
wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an
ocean-view room. I tried to explain that is not possible, since Orlando
is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked on
the map, and Florida is a very thin state."
I got a call from a man who asked, "Is it possible to see England from
Canada?" I said, "No." He said, "But they look so close on the map."
Another man called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. When I
pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had a 1-hour lay-over in Dallas.
When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas
was a big airport, and I need a car to drive between the gates to save
time."
A nice lady just called. She needed to know how it was possible that her
flight from Detroit left at 8:20 AM and got into Chicago at 8:33 AM. I
tried to explain that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she
could not understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the
plane went very fast, and she bought that!
A woman called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on
your bag so they know who's luggage belongs to who?" I said, "No, why
do you ask?" She replied, "Well, when I checked in with the airline,
they put a tag on my luggage that said FAT, and I'm overweight, is there
any connection?" After putting her on hold for a minute while I "looked
into it" (I was actually laughing). I came back and explained the city
code for Fresno is FAT, and that the airline was just putting a
destination tag on her luggage.
A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over
all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California
and then take the train to Hawaii?"
I just got off the phone with a man who asked, "How do I know which
plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, which he replied,
"I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these darn planes have
numbers on them."
A woman called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi Cola on one of those
computer planes." I asked if she meant to fly to Pensacola on a commuter
plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever."
A business man called and had a question about the documents he needed
in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I
reminded him he needed a visa. "Oh no I don't, I've been to China many
times and never had to have one of those." I double checked and sure
enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, "Look,
I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my
American Express."
A woman called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to
hippopotamus, New York" The agent was at a loss for words. Finally,
the agent: "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what
flights do you have?" replied the customer. After some searching, the
agent came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport
code in the country and can't find a Hippopotamus anywhere."
The customer retorted, "Oh don't be silly. Everyone knows where it is.
Check your map!" The agent scoured a map of the state of New York
and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?" "That's it! I knew
it was a big animal!"

Today's Faith 'n Truth-Builder
"...building up yourselves on your most holy faith... (Jude 20)."
Midnight Battle!
Pedro Bernardo traveled up and down the Amazon River by canoe selling
Christian books to the villagers he passed. At night he'd find a quiet
nook by a protected bank, tie his boat to a tree limb, and drift to
sleep amid the muffled sounds of the jungle.
Early one morning he discovered that he'd tied his canoe to a very
dangerous tree. No, the limbs and leaves weren't the problem. It was
what lived in the tree that almost cost him his life.
The sting of the fire ant can burn like a flame. If enough of the large
creatures sting you, you die. As Pedro slumbered under that particular
tree that night, an army of fire ants began marching down the rope,
heading straight for the weary literature evangelist.
At that moment a gentle breeze drifted across the waters, pushing the
free end of the canoe around until it came to rest against the limb of
another tree. Unknown to the slumbering Christian, this tree contained
a colony of black ants-deadly enemies of the fire ants. A new army
swarmed down the limb, boarded the canoe, and met the fire ants just a
couple feet from Pedro's head.
All night long a fierce, silent war raged, with casualties on both
sides. At dawn, when Pedro awakened, he rolled over to discover that
his canoe had been a battleground and was littered with dead and dying
fire ants. Their black cousins had gained the upper hand and driven the
red army out of the canoe, back up the rope, and into their own tree.
From every enemy, God provides a Saviour.
